00:00Fans from all over the world descended on Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh today
00:04to see Taylor Swift on her ERAS tour.
00:09I'm from Australia so I got three planes to get here. I've been to every one of her concerts in Sydney and I'm a super fan.
00:16I got some tickets to come here in Edinburgh and I wanted to see the Torture Police Department so here I am.
00:21Excited? Very excited?
00:23Very excited. I'm very excited. I've got a different outfit to wear tonight that's Torture Police Department themed
00:28so I'll get changed into that.
00:30I've come all the way from New York. I'm really looking forward to tonight and seeing Taylor Swift for the first time.
00:35Expensive trip?
00:37Some with cash, some with points. Tickets are cheaper than in the US though.
00:43We're very excited. We've been waiting for over a year.
00:50How long did it take to get here?
00:52We got up at 5am this morning.
00:57Straight from the airport.
00:59So are you going to go and get your merchandise, go back to the hotel and then come back for the concert?
01:03Yeah, we're going on Sundays. We're not going today.
01:06As well as those Norwegian Taylor Swift fans in the merchandise queue today,
01:10fans from all over the UK were dressed to impress ahead of the first of Taylor's three record-breaking nights at Murrayfield
01:18to kick off the UK leg of the ERAS tour.
01:22I bought the dress. I like the lyrics in Shumping Problems.
01:27So it does pop in the head.
01:32Are you looking forward to tonight?
01:33Yeah.
01:34Are you going to join the queue now?
01:36Yeah, we're in the queue already.
01:38One of our friends is actually there waiting for us.
01:41What time did you get in the queue this morning?
01:43Around 9am-10am.
01:45Was it busy already?
01:47A bit.
01:50We're closer now in the gates, but it's really good.
01:53Excellent. First time you've seen Taylor live?
01:56Yeah, it was my first time. It's a dream come true.
01:58Very exciting.
02:00It's my first time seeing Taylor Swift.
02:02It's my eighth time seeing Taylor Swift.
02:04Oh wow, so you're a total Swiftie then?
02:06I hope so.
02:07Are you going tonight or tomorrow?
02:09I'm tonight, but you're here tomorrow.
02:11I'm here tomorrow.
02:12And Sunday.
02:13And Sunday, yeah.
02:14All three?
02:15No, tomorrow and Sunday.
02:17That's alright. Just the two?
02:19Just the two, yeah.
02:20It must have cost a fortune, but worth it?
02:22Yeah, it's 100% worth it, yeah.
02:24I think about all of the concerts you'd be fit to be here do
02:27would just add to the queue, if I'm right, really.
02:30Yeah, just excited.
02:32Are you going in now?
02:34No, we don't go in until about 3 o'clock.
02:36Yeah, but there's people queuing all over.
02:38Yeah, I'm already in the queue.
02:39Alright, so what time did you join the queue?
02:41I joined the queue about 9 o'clock.
02:45That's commitment.
02:46She's number 68 in the queue.
02:48Oh, you get tagged, don't you?
02:50So you're going to try and get down the front?
02:52Yes, try my best.
02:53I come from Wales, and they've come from England.
02:56So you're all friends?
02:57Yes.
02:58Is it just the three of you, or are there more?
03:00No, it's just the three of us.
03:01That's all we need!
03:03Are you excited for tonight?
03:05Extremely, yeah.
03:06And going to join the queue now?
03:08Yeah, we're going to join the queue.
03:09It's going to be a very long wait, but worth it.
03:12Not too many people right now, so I'm happy with the time we have right now.
03:15And this is your first Taylor Swift concert?
03:17Yes, first ever one.
03:19So what are you most excited about seeing tonight?
03:22Like, which song?
03:23Oh, I want her to perform Gold Rush.
03:25Yeah, I want to see what the secret song is.
03:27And the opening act, Paramore.
03:29Oh, I love Paramore.
03:30I am so excited.
03:31So, double fun?
03:33Yes, double the fun!
03:34Like, 14-year-old me is so excited!
